David,
I too am a fan of the sharpies. and some close cousins. Reuel Parker is
another designer that has his act together. If you do not have his other
book, "The new cold molded boatbuilding," you should get it. Great
construction info and some neat designs, some of which are sharpies. Worth
the price.

Right on David! I agree totally! I have it too, plus there is a short history
of the waters behind the barrier island that forms "The Indian River" and
some Ralph Monroe stories too...

Fellow Bolger Boat Builders --
I've had "The Sharpie Book" for about a week now, and I couldn't be
happier with the purchase!
Little did I know when I started bending my teal together that I was
joining a brotherhood (sorry Monica,) that stretched back to the
beginnings of this great nation (sorry Pippo,) and gave rise to a
design that so completely address the fundamental issues of boat
design: cost, safety, speed, and comfort.
Until Bolger, boat building was a mysterious "black art" that I
disparately wanted initiation into. Building lil'winnie changed that,
and hinted at much more.
"The Sharpie Book" confirms my suspicions; boat building has been
"hijacked" by the close-minded, disparaging any boat or idea (like a
grand 47 foot sharpie schooner) that would challenge their dozens of
steam bent ribs and great, deep fiberglass molds.
That this challenge comes in the form of an boat indigenous to the
waters I ply gives me both great satisfaction and a tremendous
feeling of history. I very nearly feel it is my patriotic duty to
build a great sharpie cruiser and then sail her across the very
shallow waters of Napigue Harbor!
If you don't have "The Sharpie Book" go to amazon and get it today.
Not next week, not tomorrow -- today.
